U.N. Chasing a Dream

Members of the United Nations Security Council put their differences aside earlier today and passed a resolution committing themselves to a world without nuclear weapons. Not only was the vote overwhelming, it was unanimous. Even Russia and China agreed to pursue a situation in which they get rid of their weapons.

Today’s vote tells us that anything is possible. If the U.N. Security Council can commit itself to ridding the world of nuclear weapons, how far off can other far-reaching resolutions be? Personally, I can’t wait until the U.N. commits itself to eliminating the need for money while providing every person in every nation in the world (except Israel of course) with their own Super-Mario Bros.-style warp zones.
